Description
As instructors of CALS classes prepare their course materials for remote instruction, instructors may need to record their lectures in advance. Some instructors may not have an ideal location, equipment, or network conducive to create quality recordings of course content. CALS has equipped three rooms (Emerson 251 and 255 and Stocking 115) to be used as mini-studios for online instruction. These mini-studios provide a reservable location where instructors can present or record electronic course content. This is a new service and please expect that this service will evolve as we receive valuable feedback from mini-studio users.
We recommend everyone test the room and request AV support via the below link for the first "test drive" session. A test drive will allow users to confirm where the room is located, that card swipe / punch code access works, and users are oriented to the equipment and satisfied with the recording quality before scheduling a session to record course content.
Capabilities
These mini-studios can be used for recording content for later asynchronous online viewing by students or for live instruction and include the following technologies:
-
Record content to the Cloud using Zoom
